Lellyett & Rogers Services to Offer Autodesk’s 2013 Building and Civil Infrastructure Software
Lellyett & Rogers Services today announced it will offer the 2013 software portfolio for building design, infrastructure and construction industries from Autodesk, a leader in 3D design software for the manufacturing, building and construction, and media and entertainment markets.
Enhancements for Autodesk Building Design Suite 2013, Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite 2013 and Autodesk Plant Design Suite 2013, together with expanded cloud services and improved collaboration and data management tools, are aimed at helping design, engineering and construction professionals address today’s business challenges with enhanced Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows.
Since 1974, Lellyett & Rogers AEC Division has strategically focused on “making our client’s professionals more productive” by creating innovative ways of managing complex information for the construction industry. Lellyett & Rogers pioneered techniques in manual overlay drafting, color offset printing, CADD standards, and on-line document management. We are involved in managing information on construction projects around the globe and delivering that information when needed in the format that is required by the consumer of the information.
“Working with Autodesk we are able to help our customers achieve better collaboration and workflow on major projects which involve multiple, often dispersed firms. The value of building information created in Revit is maximized when sharing the project information is fast and easy,” said Paul Dougherty, Chief Technology Officer, Lellyett & Rogers Services.
Lellyett & Rogers Services will be offering the 2013 versions of the following Autodesk products: Building Design Suites, Infrastructure Design Suites, AutoCAD, AutoCAD Civil 3D, and AutoCAD Navisworks.
“Our design suites and cloud services help meet the demand for BIM by providing access to a broad set of tools that support projects from conception to construction,” said Amar Hanspal, senior vice president, Information Modeling and Platform Products Group, Autodesk. “The 2013 software portfolio offers significant additions to the design suites, as well as expanded web services that allow our customers to collaborate more effectively and access information from anywhere at any time.”
Expanded Cloud Services
The 2013 software and services portfolio includes access to Autodesk 360, a cloud computing platform that helps users more dramatically improve the way project teams design, visualize, simulate, and share work. Autodesk 360 offers secure access to project data anytime, anywhere, while taking advantage of nearly infinite computing power through a broad range of cloud-based services. Autodesk 360 is now available to all Autodesk Design Suite customers, with additional capabilities available to design suite customers who purchase an Autodesk Subscription.
Advanced BIM for Building Industry
Autodesk Building Design Suite 2013 is the foundation of the 2013 software portfolio for architects, MEP and structural engineers, and construction professionals. It provides a comprehensive set of tools to help users address a variety of workflow needs, from design, visualization and simulation to documentation and construction.
